• Sexy Salt •THE KITCHEN DIVA

By Angela Shelf Medearis

Salt has been used since ancient times and in many ways, from a condiment and a preservative to a valuable form of currency. Roman soldiers were paid in salt. The English word for salary is derived from the Latin word “salarium,” which means “payment in salt.” Salt was once so difficult to obtain that it was the catalyst for several wars.

Now everything old is new again, and salt is no exception. Sea salt, which is, well, as old as the sea, has become a fashionable, trendy ingredient. It’s the reigning queen of the culinary world, and that popularity has increased its price. Sea salt is imported from around the world and comes in a flavorful assortment of vibrant colors, including French gray, Peruvian pink, Hawaiian red and Indian black.

Combining salt with water and spices to make a brining solution is a delicious way to add flavor to your meal preparation. Brining meats provides moisture by hydrating the cells of the meat’s muscle tissue. That’s why brining turkey and chicken makes the meat so moist. Brining also is used during the cheese-making process, and as a preservative for a variety of vegetables.

My vegetable bin often contains what I call “sad” vegetables. Perhaps the cucumbers or the celery aren’t as crisp, or there’s one or two unloved radishes or carrots left over. Brining the vegetables gives them a savory flavor, a vibrant color and preserves them. My slightly wrinkled mushrooms, squash or eggplants, the neglected broccoli or cauliflower or that bunch of limp herbs is rejuvenated in this zesty brine. It also provides me with a new way to present a colorful array of vegetables at the dinner table.

I love the way that brining with salt and spices seasons ordinary meats and vegetables. The combination of salt, black pepper and sugar provides a spicy, sultry burst of flavor that tickles your tongue. If

you’re a foodie, salt is sexy.

BRINED CUCUMBER AND RADISH SALAD

6 cups water1 teaspoon sugar4 large garlic cloves, crushed1/4 teaspoon black peppercorns3 tablespoons plus 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt1 pound Kirby cucumbers1/2 pound radishes, trimmed and quartered1 cup loosely packed flat-leaf parsley leaves1 tablespoon vegetable oil

1. Boil water, sugar, garlic, peppercorns and 3 tablespoons salt in a 4-quart pot, uncovered, for 10 minutes.

2. While brine is boiling, halve cucumbers lengthwise and cut crosswise into 1/3-inch-thick slices.

3. Remove brine from heat and add cucumbers and radishes. Let stand, uncovered, 10 minutes, then drain in a colander, discarding garlic and peppercorns. Transfer cucumbers and radishes to a bowl of ice and cold water to cool, then drain well in colander.

4. Toss cucumbers and radishes with parsley, oil and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large bowl and chill, uncovered, about 20 minutes. Makes 4 servings.

5. The salad can be made ahead and refrigerated. Delicious when served with broiled or pan-seared fish.

• Easy Pickled Jalapeno Peppers •

• Trivia Test •

DONNA’S DAY: CREATIVE FAMILY FUNBy Donna Erickson

Imagine taking a hungry bite into a warm grilled-cheese sandwich. Yum -- good comfort food, right? Now imagine eating that same sandwich, but this time there are crispy pickled jalapeno pepper rounds tucked inside. Now that’s a crunchy bite, and a tasty transformation.

Peter Piper, who picked a peck of pickled peppers from Mother Goose fame, knew what he was picking. My family likes to add these kicky pepper rounds to just about anything, whether they top nachos, fish or beef tacos, enchiladas and tortillas, or they’re tucked in a bun with a brat when we gather with friends for a picnic at the baseball park.

Instead of spooning a jar of commercially processed, store-bought jalapeno sliced peppers into or on top of your dishes, make 2 pints of these fresh and yummy pickled jalapeno peppers in minutes in your kitchen with your preteen. Discover the big difference in texture and flavor. Toss the easy-to-prep and peppy-to-eat crunch on your favorite South of the Border recipe and say, “Ole!”

EASY PICKLED JALAPENO PEPPERS1 cup white vinegar1 cup water4 tablespoons sugar, or more to taste (adding more

sugar turns down the heat)

2 cloves garlic, sliced in half1 tablespoon salt7 fresh jalapeno peppers (from the produce area of

your market), thinly sliced2 fresh red or yellow mini sweet peppers, thinly sliced2 pint-size glass jars

1. Stir together the vinegar, water, sugar, garlic and salt in a cooking pot and bring to a boil.

2. Add sliced jalapeno and sweet peppers, stir, turn off heat and let sit for 10 minutes.

3. Remove peppers with a slotted spoon to jars, then fill to the top with remaining liquid. Cool.

4. Keep refrigerated and serve with favorite dishes for up to one month. Makes about 2 pints

PLEASE NOTE: The oils in fresh jalapeno peppers can irritate skin and be painful if you touch your eyes. You may wish to wear deli or rubber gloves when slicing the peppers. Wash your hands well with soap and water afterward.

Day” is airing on public television nationwide. To find more of her creative family recipes and activities, visit www.donnasday.com and link to the NEW Donna’s Day Facebook fan page. Her latest book is “Donna Erickson’s Fabulous Funstuff for Families.”

• Eating Leaves Mouth With Sour Taste •TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH

By Keith Roach, M.D.

DEAR DR. ROACH: My wife, age 70, complains frequently of a sour taste in her mouth soon after eating. I thought she had esophageal reflux, but I did not find that sour taste is one of the symptoms. She has no heartburn, but the taste occasionally improves after taking an antacid. -- B.P.

ANSWER: Gastroesophageal reflux disease can have no symptoms, or many. Sour taste is, in fact, a common symptom. This is the “reflux” of the condition’s name, since it refers to the backward movement of stomach acid -- all the way into the back of the throat or even into the mouth. Heartburn is perhaps the most common symptom, but so is difficulty swallowing. This is more common in people with longstanding symptoms.

Antacids neutralize the acid in the stomach but do not prevent the reflux of stomach contents. Widely prescribed medications, including H2 blockers like Zantac or Pepcid (“H2” is a type of histamine receptor, a stimulus for acid production) and proton pump inhibitors (like Prilosec or Nexium, which directly reduce acid secretion), also act on the acid in the stomach, and do not reduce reflux.

In order to reduce reflux, I recommend eating smaller meals, not reclining for two to three hours after eating, losing weight if appropriate and avoiding products that weaken the lower esophageal sphincter, the valve-like muscle at the bottom of the esophagus. Alcohol and tobacco are the biggest offenders.

Raising the head of the bed (traditionally with a brick, but foam wedges also are good) uses gravity to help the refluxed acid get out of the esophagus. Reducing reflux or acid at night is most important. While the body is in a horizontal position, the acid can stay longer in the esophagus and cause damage.

***DEAR DR. ROACH: I am very

concerned about my 81-year-old sister. She is 4 feet 10 inches tall and weighs 78 pounds. This is a new low weight for her. She recently had bloodwork done and was told she has an underactive thyroid and should take medication for it. She also has a colon problem and COPD.

I thought that with an underactive thyroid, you gained weight, not lost. Can you explain the difference between underactive and overactive thyroid? -- C.K.

ANSWER: The thyroid gland in the neck produces thyroid hormone, which affects every tissue in the body. People with an underactive gland (called hypothyroid) tend to gain weight, may have dry skin, and slow bowel movements, and can be lethargic or sluggish. People with overactive thyroid (hyperthyroid) usually are the opposite: full of energy, thin and intolerant of heat. The diagnosis is confirmed by blood tests of thyroid levels.

However, these common conditions occasionally look very different from the normal. I have seen people with severe hyperthyroidism be lethargic to the point of apathy. Weight gain or loss isn’t inevitable with thyroid disease.

However, with severe COPD, weight loss is almost universal. The COPD may be a bigger contributor to her weight loss. But with a body mass index of 16.3, she is dangerously underweight and needs further evaluation and treatment.

***Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable

to answer individual letters, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible. Readers may email questions to [email protected]. To view and order health pamphlets, visit www.rbmamall.com, or write to Good Health, 628 Virginia Drive, Orlando, FL 32803.

• Easy Grilled Ranch Potatoes •

• Now here’s a tip •

GOOD HOUSEKEEPING TWO

With just three ingredients, these grilled potatoes from Creme de la Crumb are quick and delicious, and make the perfect side dish for any summertime meal.

* 2 pounds baby red potatoes* 3 tablespoons olive oil (or other oil)* 1 packet ranch seasoning

1. Wash, pat dry and quarter potatoes (for larger ones you may need to chop into slightly smaller pieces, about 1 inch).

2. Place chopped potatoes in a large resealable bag. Drizzle olive oil into the

bag, seal and toss to coat the potatoes.3. Open the bag, sprinkle in half of the

ranch seasoning, seal, toss to coat, then repeat with remaining seasoning.

4. Thread potatoes on skewers. Grill over low heat for 10-20 minutes (depending on your grill) turning throughout to ensure even cooking. When fork-tender, remove from grill and serve warm with cold ranch dressing, if desired. Serves 4.

• “My husband plays golf a lot, and he’s always got a stock of little pencils from the club. The kids made a photo frame for him for Father’s Day by gluing many of these pencils together in a pattern rectangle. It’s so creative and we printed a photo of him and the kids to go in it.” -- J.G. in Florida

• Kids running around the house? To make sure they don’t run into the sliding glass door, hang something at eye level. It could be as simple as a sticker, or a cute suncatcher. Nobody likes to go face first into a glass door that’s closed.

• “I have a lovely painted mailbox. The house number is painted on, but it never occurred to me that it’s not very visible in the dark. We had a heart scare recently that involved an ambulance being called. They did make it to our place, but standing in the driveway as they left, I realized that we needed something more obvious. I have a solar-powered lamp light up house numbers now.” -- A.O. in Idaho

Focusing on our Farming Community

• Agriculture and the economy •Many people rely on the agriculture industry for their

foods, but think little of the impact that agriculture has on the larger economy. However, data indicates that agriculture can serve a significant role in the process of solidifying the economy of a country, particularly developing nations. Agriculture also can

contribute to the economic prosperity of advanced countries. IPP Media points out that the economic history of many developed countries indicates that agricultural prosperity contributed heavily to their economic advancement. When the basic food supply is strong, the national economy can be strong as

well. Particularly in the early days of the United States, farming held a crucial place in establishing the American economy and culture, and still shapes the country today. Many states find that farming and other agricultural pursuits contribute much to the local and national economy. For example, new research from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and University of Wisconsin-Extention show that agriculture is a powerful economic force in Wisconsin. Agricultural businesses help generate more than $83 billion in activity and have created more than 400,000 jobs in that state. The public should not disregard how strong a factor agriculture can be in establishing a strong economic environment. Safeguarding agricultural jobs and the agricultural industry is crucial to economic stability.

• Find Creative Ways to Help Pets in Need •

• More Than a Headstone •

PAW’S CORNERBy Sam Mazzotta

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I’d like to help make life better for animals, but I’m not able to volunteer at a local shelter because my job and family take up too much time. I don’t have a lot of extra cash to give away, either. Is there anything else I can do? -- Sarah in Wheeling, West Virginia

DEAR SARAH: Few of us can really dedicate the time or money we’d like to give to improve animal welfare. All we can do sometimes is look for an opportunity that fits what we are able to give. More and more individuals and businesses are coming up with creative ways for their community to help pets and their owners.

For example, a store in Fort Gratiot, Michigan, converted a walk-in cigar humidor to a pantry for donated pet food and treats, encouraging members of

the community to donate to it with the goal of helping elderly residents feed their pets.

A program begun by the Humane Society of the United States, called Pets for Life, helps animal-care and social-welfare advocates start community outreach programs that can put needy pet owners in touch with agencies or charities that can help their pets get food, medical care or other assistance.

And of course, there was the community-driven assistance given to pets and rescue organizations on the Gulf Coast in the wake of two terrible hurricanes in 2017, which enabled the rescue of stranded and lost pets, and the rehoming of adoptable pets to shelters in other areas of the U.S.

So keep an ear to the ground and an eye open for the chance to help where and when you can.

VETERANS POSTby Freddy Groves

Twice a year in national cemeteries across the country, veterans are honored with ceremonies and visits. Memorial Day has long been the day to honor those who died in service to our country. Now, with the generous donations of Worcester Wreath and the non-profit Wreaths Across America, tens of thousands of veterans’ graves also are decorated at Christmas ... as they should be.

But I have a challenge for you. We all live near a cemetery or two. Small cemeteries

dot communities across the country, and many of them don’t get the attention they deserve. Some are not tended well nor visited often.

My challenge to you is this: Investigate a local cemetery and identify the graves of a half-dozen veterans. The older the grave, the better, as there will not likely be family that visits. Note the names and dates of birth of those half-dozen veterans (as well as

the locations, should the cemetery be large).Take the graves of those veterans into your care.

Visit each grave at least twice a year, and not on the days that others will -- Memorial Day and during the Christmas season. Pick another day, as well as the veteran’s birthday.

This project needn’t cost much. Check your local big-box or craft stores for small flags, perhaps 4 by 6 inches, on sticks. Or look online for sites such as www.united-states-flag.com (877-734-2458). Its flags are made in the U.S.A. The 4-by-6-inch flags on 10-inch wooden sticks cost as low as 15 cents each.

Take along a pair of clippers and trim around the headstone. Take the kids or grandkids along, if you wish, and teach them about honoring veterans.

Then, issue the same challenge to others. It’s the right thing to do.

• Strange but true • • J.J. Hollywood •by Samantha Weaver

• It was noted Spanish filmmaker Luis Bunuel who made the following sage observation: “Age is something that doesn’t matter, unless you are a cheese.”

• You might be surprised to learn that we call coffee beans aren’t actually beans -- they’re the pits of the coffee beans.

• Would you believe me if I told you that there were parachutists (better known now as skydivers) before there were airplanes? Yep, it’s true! In Paris in the year 1900, a man leaped from the Eiffel Tower and made a safe descent using a parachute. It wasn’t until December 17, 1903, that the Wright Brothers made the first controlled, sustained powered flight in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina.

• According to statisticians, about 200 people a year die while watching -- not

playing -- football.• Of all the stamps that have been

used by the U.S. Postal Service, more have featured George Washington than any other person; so far there have been 305 with the likeness of the nation’s first president.

• If you ever make a trip to Alaska, you might want to keep in mind the fact that it is illegal there to wake a sleeping bear for the purpose of taking its picture.

• We don’t often associate museums with beverages, but it seems that they’re fairly popular throughout the world. For instance, museums dedicated to coffee and/or tea can be found in London, Moscow, Paris, Sao Paolo, Zurich and Kyoto, as well as in China, South Korea, Colombia and Angola. Germany has three of them. Coffee and tea must be quite popular in the Netherlands; museums dedicated to the beverages can be found there in five different cities.

HOLLYWOOD -- Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are throwing themselves into their work. Brad’s busy producing “Beautiful Boy,” with Steve Carell and Timothee Chalamet (due Oct. 12), and again with Carell in “Backseat,” with Christian Bale and Bill Pullman (arriving Dec. 14). Pitt is on-camera in “Ad Astra,” with Tommy Lee Jones, Donald Sutherland and Ruth Negga (opening Jan. 19) and currently is being directed by Quentin Tarantino in “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood,” with Leonardo

DiCaprio, Margot Robbie and with appearances by Samuel L. Jackson, Jennifer Lawrence, Tom Cruise and Al Pacino. Brad then goes right into “The King,” written, produced, directed and co-starring Joel Edgerton and Timothee Chalamet.

Angelina directed, wrote and produced “First They Killed My Father” last September for Netflix, and executive produced the animated film “The Breadwinner.” She’s now set to reprise “Maleficent” (2014), which grossed $758 million. It starts shooting this spring.
